Financial Controller | Mansfield | Up to £75,000 + 10% bonus | Hybrid
I’m recruiting for a Financial Controller to join a growing business based in Mansfield.
This is a really good opportunity for someone who wants more than just a traditional Financial Controller role.
The business has ambitious growth plans over the coming years, both organically and through acquisition, which should create plenty of opportunity around integration, process improvement, systems development and helping build a stronger finance function as the business grows.
There is also genuine scope for the role itself to develop.
Initially, the focus will be around financial control, reporting and leadership of the finance team, but as the business continues to grow, the remit is expected to become broader and create further progression opportunities for the person joining.
A big part of the role will be people leadership.
You’ll have responsibility across the wider finance team, including oversight of the transactional AP and AR functions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
